In dieser Woche ist der richtige 1.3.0-Patch für EA Sports WRC erschienen Zoom

Das aktuelle Update beinhaltet weitere Anpassungen im Bereich der Grafikdarstellung, um vor allem bei der PC-Version auftretende Unterbrechungen beim Ladevorgang zu beheben und zusätzlich allen Plattformen zugutekommende Stabilitäts- und Performance-Verbesserungen.

Wie das nachstehend einsehbar vollständige Änderungsprotokoll zeigt, sind mit der Aktualisierung verschiedene Fehlerbehebungen verbunden und auch erste Optimierungen, so zum Beispiel für den Einsatz der Co-Pilot-Ansagen. Ferner wird die Navigation durch die Spielmenüs unter Verwendung von Lenkrädern verbessert.

Für die Rallye-Locations Finnland, Japan, Kenia, Mediterraneo, Mexiko werden verschiedene Maßnahmen aufgeführt die zu einer ansprechenderen Präsentation führen sollen.

Die nächste reguläre Aktualisierung für das Spiel soll Mitte Dezember erfolgen.
